Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Perron, let's turn to the supply chain.
Right now, companies have to register. Regular businesses have to do so in order to get a business number. For example, Quebec businesses have a Quebec enterprise number, also known as the NEQ. I'd imagine every province has something similar. For an indigenous business to access certain benefits, it has to register with the Canadian Aboriginal and Minority Supplier Council.
How is that going? How straightforward is it? As we know, some articles have documented cases where non-indigenous businesses have accessed funding.
I'd imagine this must be upsetting for first nations people.
